Chapter 1: 

Requested by speaknowenthusiast – Kwami swap oneshot where Plagg helps Marinette take down Lila.

...

Marinette slumped her head on her elbows, and she fought off the urge to sleep. She had commissions, homework, akumas and she needed to help her parents in the bakery. It was all so much. Not to mention her least favourite person was making her life a walking tragedy. The latest stunt today was tripping her over in the cafeteria. Oh, and the best part? It was chocolate pudding day. Yes, it looked how it sounded. Try walking home without a change of clothes, people will assume the worst. That wasn't the best part. Oh no, Lila had offered to help her get up but after saying no, her class immediately accused her of being ungrateful. Even Adrien turned a blind eye.

She shook her head and took a final glance at her computer screen. Her essay was finally done which was due tomorrow and it was only set today! This was the trickiest yet. Made sense since it was for Ms Mendeleiev's class. She was looking to teach subjects other than science and she was now tackling history. Delightful. Her kwami watched her with worry. This couldn't go on. She partly blamed Fu for the added pressure of being a hero on a freaking fourteen-year-old. But no. Lila was tearing her down bit by bit and piling her friends against her. Letting out a huff, she flew up to the window and closed her eyes.

"Plagg, get your stinky behind over her now!" she mumbled to herself. Since she and Plagg were technically opposites, or whatever term you chose, they could send telepathic links to each other whenever the needed to and this classed as an emergency.

...

"Move...move you dinosaur chicken!" Plagg said as he suddenly awoke from his pillow with a splitting headache. Adrien shifted in his sleep as he rolled over. Having an early shoot tomorrow meant an early night sleep in.

"Ngh... I'm sleeping Sugar Cube!" Plagg grumbled but then winced as he felt the headache pound his tiny brain. Oh boy, she must really be mad. Knowing Adrien will be out for the count, he didn't bother replacing himself with a sock this time. Grabbing a slice of cheese for the road, he hurried out of the house, having a small guess at what she ewas so mad about.

...

Tikki paced, or flew about impatiently, waiting for the presence of the Destruction God. She huffed in annoyance when she smelt the familiar aroma of camembert and saw Plagg approaching. He gulped down his cheese whole and let out a burp.

"Jeez Sugar Cube, the last time you gave me a migraine like that was when I knocked that big rock off course," Plagg said.

"That was Halley's Comet Plagg, you put it on a loop for seventy-five years! Why did you even try to break it up anyway?" Tikki asked.

"Hey, I thought it was Space Cheese!" Plagg said defensively.

The look she gave him made him turn his head. He didn't really learn his lesson from when he tried to break the moon since he heard a rumour that it was made of cheese. After that he assumed that cheese must exist somewhere in space. Well, that myth was busted after a serious talk with Wayzz.

"Enough with the cheese!" Tikki shouted. Now from that tone of voice, Plagg knew that something was seriously wrong. Time to make his guess.

"It's Pigtails isn't it? I've kinda noticed what's been happening lately... I didn't think it was that bad," Plagg said with concern, his usual humorous tone vanishing.

"That... witch is making her so miserable. I can feel the life draining from her. It's not fair. Why must all my bugs suffer? I don't want it to happen again... not like with Joan..." Tikki said sadly. That made Plagg snap.
